Best TV Comedy Series

A true survivor, Parks and Rec has had to tailor most of its season finales to be possible series finale, having been constantly on the bubble since its debut. But, like Leslie's tireless optimism, the series has prevailed and gifted us with moments of sheer hilarity. Not only did Leslie and Ben tie the knot in 2013 (in one of TV's sweetest episodes ever), but Ron got hitched as well. On top of that, April, Ann, and Donna sang "Time After Time," Jerry was re-named Larry, Ron struggled to eat a banana, April declared herself "half wolf," Andy got a job over in London, Eagleton went belly up, and Patton Oswalt improvised an amazing (eight minute) Star Wars: Episode VII filibuster. Parks, like its characters, has always been an optimistic underdog - adapting and pulling together to overcome challenges rather than wallow in despair. And, most of all, it's freakin' funny as hell.
